The big win over St Etienne helped PSG reach 71 points, 22 points ahead of second-placed Marseille, with only 7 rounds left in the season. However, the capital club's championship celebration party has yet to take place.
Hours later, Monaco came from behind to beat Nice 2-1 at home, moving up to second place with 50 points. However, this was unlikely to stop Luis Enrique's team from lifting the trophy.
If PSG can get just one more point against Angers in the match on April 5, they will immediately become Ligue 1 champions with 6 rounds early. This could be the 2nd earliest championship in Ligue 1 history. Previously, PSG won the championship with 8 rounds early in the 2015/16 season.

The match at the Geoffroy-Guichard was an exciting affair. St Etienne played with confidence in the first half and took the lead after Lucas Stassin's close-range header in the ninth minute.
On the other hand, PSG faced many difficulties and had to rely on a controversial referee decision to equalize. In the 43rd minute, Goncalo Ramos earned a penalty after colliding with the home team's defender, then successfully took advantage to score from the 11m mark.
It seemed that fans would continue to witness an exciting match in the second half, but no, PSG rose strongly and swallowed the home team with 5 goals.
From the 50th to the 62nd minute, the Ligue 1 defending champions poured 3 goals into St Etienne's net to take a 4-1 lead. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue, and Joao Neves scored in turn to extinguish the home team's fighting spirit.
In the 66th minute, Doue completed his double, before the player born in 2008, Ibrahim Mbaye scored the goal to seal a 6-1 victory for PSG. This was also the 13th consecutive win of "Le Parisien" against "Les Verts".
